Tekton Double Impacts

Anybody out there heard these??

I have dedicated audio room 14.5x20.5x9 ft.  Currently have Marantz Reference CD/Intergrated paired to Magnepan 1.7's with REL T-7 subs.  For the vast majority of music I love this system.  The only nit pick is that it is lacking/limited in covering say below 35 hz or so.  For the first time actually buzzed the panel with an organ sacd. Bummer.  Thought of upgrading subs to rythmicks but then I will need to high pass the 1.7's.  Really don't want to deal with that approach.

Enter the Double Impacts.  Many interesting things here.  Would certainly have a different set of strengths here.  Dynamics, claimed bottom octave coverage in one package, suspect a good match to current electronics.

I've read all the threads here so we do not need to rehash that.  Just wondering if others out there have FIRST HAND experience with these or other Tekton speakers

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Got about 15 hours on the Ulf's and the level of low end dynamics is blossoming and the level of liquidity is spreading like melting butter in a slightly warmed cast iron pan!

I was playing an album by the great jazz pianist, Cyrus Chestnut, and I can honestly say that the Ulf's created the most life-like illusion of an actual piano being played in real space that I have ever heard created by a stereo system.  Just beautiful!

Wow Terry... that is good stuff.
Any comparisons to other speakers you have heard in terms of how they sound or how good they are?

Yes, to your question:  Does anyone listen to large scale orchestral music with DI?  I would say the DIs are quite classically qualified. : )

@teajay   Since you brought up a warmed cast iron pan with melting butter....

Add sugar and cinnamon, banana liqueur, bananas, rum. Flambe'

Serve the banana pieces with scoops of ice-cream and the warm sauce.

A Brennan's of New Orleans original!

I just talked to Eric, and he is crazy busy as usual. I think he is going to be even more crazy busy after the Ulf reviews come out by the sound of things. I hope he can manage his growth. I have seen companies fail when they do not have the infrastructure in place for rapid growth. No one deserves success more than Eric. I know I call him when he is in the middle of stuff and I know he spends time with me when he really wants to be getting on with other things and I know I am probably not the only one that does that to him. He is a great guy and I wish he had more time because I genuinely like him and would love to just talk to him on this stuff. Time is not a luxury he has, lol. He is so knowledgeable. Every time I talk to him I learn something. I'd love to see him build this into a large company. He definitely has the know-how and the drive. The Ulf sounds like another home run.
